Shots were fired but no one was injured during a holdup attempt at a gas station in Jackson Tuesday night.

The Jackson Police Dept. said the incident occurred shortly before 10 p.m. at S Mart located in the 4700 block of North State Street. A clerk told responding officers that two black males entered the store. One suspect, armed with a handgun, demanded money while the other suspect stood at the entrance. The armed suspect later fired several shots inside the store before both suspects fled on foot. No money was taken.

The clerk suffered a minor injury while trying to avoid the gunfire and did not require medical attention, JPD said.
